  MATH:  

 If you have forgotten long division with remainders (and who hasn’t?!) this short video on Kahn Academy will help Intro to long division. Another link for using an area model is Division with area model. Both are a little different than the exact method we are using (it skips the step when the divisor doesn’t go into the first number (place) of the dividend) , but it will bring back the memories of 4th grade math!                

                 Word problem requirements- Check the math : this must be part of your work

                           READ the problem

                                  I: write down the information

                                  I: write down the information

                                  Q: what is the question, write it down

                         PLAN: what or how will you answer or solve the problem

                         SOLVE: follow your plan and solve the problem

                         LOOK BACK: The most important step

                                    Is your answer reasonable? Does it make sense?

                                     Did you answer the question completely?
